Cystoscopic-assisted laparoscopic excision of prostatic utricle.
Journal of Pediatric Urology 2018 Februrary
We present a video of our technique for resection of a large prostatic utricle (PU) in a patient who presented initially with disordered sexual development. His karyotype was 46XY, and phenotypically had penoscrotal hypospadias, bifid scrotum, and retractile right testis. An initial micturating cystourethrogram (MCUG) demonstrated the utricle but failed to cannulate the bladder. Being asymptomatic, we carried out staged repair of his hypospadias. Later, he started to have recurrent epididymo-orchitis with resistance to multiple antibiotics. Examination under anaesthesia was done and ruled out meatal or neo-urethral strictures. A subsequent MCUG demonstrated the large utricle and its relation to the bladder. We carried out a cystoscopic-assisted laparoscopic excision. There has been no consensus about the best surgical approach to resect a PU and most known procedures involved extensive pelvic dissection and carried a significant risk of damage to the pelvic nerves. The laparoscopic approach seems to be promising in this field as it provides proper view of the deep pelvis with reasonable magnification, less dissection and shorter postoperative pain and scarring. Cystoscopic assistance in this technique was a great addition to provide counter-traction movement and facilitate proper dissection.
